The High Court in Pretoria granted the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) an interdict on April 28, ruling that a full review needed to be carried out before electronic tolling of Gauteng's highways could be put into effect.

The interdict prevented the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) from levying or collecting e-tolls pending the outcome of a judicial review.

Sanral and National Treasury appealed the court order.

Sanral argued that delays in the project, due to the court's order, prevented it from paying off debts incurred in building gantries.

National Treasury lawyer Jeremy Gauntlett said High Court Judge Bill Prinsloo did not provide adequate reasons for his decision to grant the interdict.

Outa's lawyer Alistair Franklin argued that Sanral's choice of e-tolling as a method of funding caused it more damage than the court order.

He said the interdict was not the cause of "irreparable harm" to the road agency.

It rather suffered "self-imposed" harm by not looking at alternative funding models, Franklin said.

Sanral lawyer David Unterhalter SC said the costs of collection for e-tolling should have been examined holistically, but that the rate of non-compliance was not a proper reason for a review of the project.

He submitted that there were measures to manage deviance.

Unterhalter admitted that there were mistakes and faults with the system, but said it was ready to be introduced.
